Reactions to Inauguration Day by our Congressman

Today was a great day for our country. President Obama gave an inspired speech today that said we must raise ourselves up, dust off the past and move forward to a brighter future. Our country is faced with tremendous challenges but with hard work and patients things will begin to turn around over the next four years. To help him along we have sent two democratic senators and three democratic congressmen to support him. Here is the reactions of two of those congressman.

Congressman Luján

"Today, President Barack Obama made history by being sworn in as the 44th President of the United States,” said Luján. “I join all Americans in celebrating President Obama’s Inauguration. President Obama’s Administration and Congress face tremendous challenges – circumstances that President Obama outlined in his remarkable address – but we also have an unmatched opportunity to change the direction of our country. It is an honor to represent the people of New Mexico during this historic time, and I look forward to working with the Obama Administration, my colleagues in Congress and my constituents in New Mexico to get our country back on track.”

Congressman Heinrich

"What an incredible day for all Americans! Having just witnessed the inauguration of President Barack Obama I am filled with a tremendous sense of hope, patriotism and pride.”

“I look forward to working with President Obama to renew America’s promise. Our times are certainly challenging, but I am confident that together we can overcome any obstacle to move this great nation forward and achieve the change our constituents asked for and deserve.”
